Kinetic Studies on Substitution Reactions of Carbonylmetal Complexes

Abstract

Abstract Kinetic studies of substitution reactions of carbonylmetals and of carbonylmetal derivatives in which other ligands (n or π donors) besides CO are bound to the metal atom have recently attracted great interest, and the results of these investigations throw a new light on theoretical and preparative problems. The substitution mechanism is determined mainly by steric and electronic factors.
